Ramsey Window Mastic
Window and door frames in Ramsey need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Ramsey
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Typical jobs include a bead that doesn’t match the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows, on composite doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
Around Ramsey, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Ramsey as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Ramsey, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We will point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ramsey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Ramsey questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Wrabness station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Ramsey affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What window mastic looks like in Ramsey
Ramsey is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Michael, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Wrabness station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you look after a building such as Harwich and Dovercourt High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Ramsey is about 2 miles west of Harwich, in Essex. Anywhere in CO12, our applicators can take on window mastic. We cover 644 towns and villages across Essex. We also work in Chelmsford, about 34 miles from Ramsey.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Landlord and commercial work in Ramsey
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
